Met Police confirmed that the incident was being treated as terrorism as they hunt the suspect

Speaking to the BBC, the Rt Reverend Graham Tomlin said that the wedding went ahead in a church in a neighbouring parish.

He said: “There was a wedding which was due to take place in St Dionis Church and we had to move very quickly to rearrange the wedding, so it’s moved down to All Saints, which is in the next door parish.”

And Rev Tomlin said it was an example of how the capital refuses to be beaten by terrorism.

He said: “It’s a sign of how life can go on, and how Londoners can adapt to situations like this.

“And how in some ways, something like this is dreadful, and has an impact on those who’ve been immediately impacted by it, but actually London is a very resilient place.

“And it’s quite important in a sense that the desire of these people who plant the bombs to cause fear around the place, that this doesn’t happen, as much as we can.”

“People just needed somewhere to sit, to be quiet,” he added.

He praised vicar Tim Stilwell for quickly opening up the church in the borough of Hammersmith and Fulham for traumatised commuters.

The church was then placed within the huge police cordon surrounding Parsons Green and forced to close.
